So when did buying a cell phone become a harrowing, all-day ordeal? I went to the store with a pretty simple goal in mind: replace my existing craptastic phone with a more functional one and re-up my slave-like plan for another 2 years. Easy enough, right?
Two. Hours. Later. My brain was swirling with what was fair, what was flexible. How many text messages do I typically use? How many minutes after 7pm? How many after 6pm? I don't know! I just don't know!
After I finally survived my marathon session and got my new phone, I asked the Perky Yet Unshaven Sales Guy (PYUSG) to have my numbers switched from my old phone to my new phone, prompting the following exchange:
PYUSG: Okay, I'll send it to the back to be switched.
Me: Great.
PYUSG: So if you want to wait or come back, it'll be about an hour.
Me: Great. Wait - an hour?
PYUSG: (perkily) Uh huh.
Me: I can do it by hand in less than an hour.
PYUSG: (hands me both phones with attitude) Fine. Enjoy your day.
Just to spite him, I didn't enjoy my day.

I'm so glad that your new phone has text messaging! One more way that I can tell you that u suk ballz.
It's true - my first text message was from Alena reminding me that I do, in fact, suk ballz.
thank god for brendo finally having text messaging!
when i got my new phone a few summers ago, the guy hit on me and followed me and my cousin around the mall, sort of. he kept always being there, but he was always alone in the store, so i don't know how he just left it. either way, it creeped me out, then again, i was in brockton. that explains it.
Yep, Brendan suks ballz(that never gets old).
It's up there amongst the most well-crafted jokes of our generation.
it's no "put a baby in you"
